Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has added former Ibrox frontman Jonatan Johansson to his back-room staff, the club have announced.
Caixinha has been on the look out for a "local" assistant to work alongside him since being appointed last month.
Ex-Rangers servants Barry Ferguson, Alex Rae and John Brown were among those interviewed for the position but Caixinha has opted to go with Johansson. The 41-year-old Finn is currently working as assistant manager with his country's national team but will now be expected to give Portuguese manager a helping hand as he gets to grips with Scottish football.
Johansson spent three years in Glasgow after moving from his homeland in 1997, netting 25 goals for Rangers while lifting the Scottish Premier League title twice.
He also enjoyed a productive stint in England with Charlton before returning to Scotland later in his career with moves to Hibernian and St Johnstone.
A statement posted on the club's website said: "Rangers Football Club is delighted to confirm Jonatan Johansson as an assistant coach at the club.
"Currently working as assistant manager with Finland's national team, Jonatan brings a wealth of experience to the role and his extensive knowledge of Scottish football will be invaluable to the new management team.
"As a coach, Jonatan spent three years in charge of Motherwell's Under-20 side – between 2012 and 2015 – before landing the Finland number two job in December.
"He retired with 106 full international caps for his country and is looking forward to taking up his new role with the Light Blues."

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
